My story takes place in the month of June 2012, at Northlands Bar & Grill, located at the base of Seymour Mountain, on a golf course, in Deep Cove. It is about my rise to becoming a manager at the restaurant/pub, in a short matter of time, through hard work and the help of my General Manager *****. This was one of the best learning experiences a job has ever given me and is a big part of my reasoning for going to school.
It all started when I was laid off of my previous job, due to them shutting down, as a bartender/waiter at Taylor’s Crossing restaurant and pub. Working at Taylor’s for two years gave me a comprehensive knowledge of the restaurant industry, and motivation to see where it could lead in another company. So I searched for a few months and finally came across an ad for Northlands. When the interview started the fist thing ***** said was, “I don’t usually hire guys (because it was a golf course restaurant) so don’t get your hopes up”. By the end of the interview we were both laughing and ***** told me something that put into motion my determination to succeed, “I have a good feeling about you”.
Over the fist three weeks, I learned how the daily workings of the restaurant went, and took notes on what could have been improved. It was after the third week that my true rush of motivation came. Aofie had came up to me and told me that what I have been doing around the restaurant was nothing short of spectacular and asked if I was interested in becoming her manager. This gave me a feeling I had never felt before, the fact that my work did not go unnoticed; it made me feel like I had achieved a life long goal I never knew was

"What Drives Us to Better Ourselves" by: Shawn Garcia Im excited to unveil my motivation and tell you what drives me to better myself. Its hard to decide, since after researching the options, I found that I could use anyone of them. Most likely, I will use all of them at one point or another to endure trekking across the ocean of knowledge. In our text book, chapter 1.1 "Learning empowers you" it says; "Learning allows you to gain new knowledge that enables you to understand yourself, others,…
Robinson maintained a natural flow of incorporating his real target issues with underlining humor. Towards the end of his speech he gave his testimony with a heart felt story about Gillian Lynne. Even though Robinson incorporated humor the story was very inspirational. Without the humor I might have teared up. Telling this story was Robinson’s proof of evidence to support his claim.! ! Overall I started out apprehensive about the speech because I had no prior knowledge of what the speech…
to a book, but this one’s stories of underdogs really hit home for me. The three stories this week were very motivational too. The three strikes and Holocaust stories really moved me more though. “The state of California conducted the greatest penal experiment in American history, and after twenty years and tens of billions of dollars, nobody could ascertain whether that experiment did any good.” Now, I am a firm believer in a justice system, and after reading this story, I feel as if the three strikes…

Tiara Burden COM/530 March 09, 2015 Brent Smith Learning Team Deliverable- Steve Jobs Debi’s Summary: The video about Steve Jobs was so motivating that I had my 11 year old son watch it with me as well.

Dropping out of school and dropping into classes, connecting the dots…

Personal History of Research As far as the first memory I have concerning research, it begins as a young kid within the year’s seven to nine. The famous question “where do babies come from” was my first research project. As an ignorant child, birth was a sickening topic to think about and I would draw conclusions based on little fact. I thought it was well known that first born children came from the belly-buttons of their mothers. As I grew older and started listening to reason, it became clear…
Cups of Tea as the book I wanted to read, my preconceived notions were that it was going to be an inspiring story. I was completely oblivious to the degree of the lack of education present in third world countries, especially in areas of terrorists. My other preconceived notion was that the girls were treated differently, but it wasn’t too bad. And, that was it. After reading the book and my current event articles, I realized I was terribly wrong. One of my current event articles speaks of how some…
